Though recognized as a distinct genetic lineage in 2007, it would not be taxonomically assessed until 2023 when U. garamaso was described as a separate species based on DNA sequencing and external morphology.

[1] Based on molecular phylogenetic relationships and general appearance, U. garamaso is placed into the U. fimbriatus group as the sister species to U.

[1] Like other member of the genus Uroplatus (commonly known as leaf-tail geckos), U. garamaso has a wide, flattened tail similar in shape to a leaf.

[1] This reptile is an arboreal and nocturnal species, being active at night on tree trunks and branches around 1 to 4 meters above the ground.

[1] Like other Uroplatus species, this gecko is oviparous, with the females reported to lay up to eight clutches in a season, each made up of one or two spherical eggs about 14 to 16 mm in diameter, at approximately 4-week intervals.

[3] Since at least 2001 (and possibly much longer), Uroplatus garamaso has been in the pet trade under a wide variety of names including 'Diego Suarez Henkeli' and 'Uroplatus aff.
